new kernel (2.6.34) issues (wlan / smbfs related)

hello, just registered in here looking for help or shared discomfort

asus eeepc 900a, atheros wlan. on 2.6.30 no problems at all, could enable/disable the onboard wlan whenever i wanted to, and use it without any issues at all; 2.6.34 will complain about siocsifaddr - no such device error if i happen start with wlan disabled and reenable it when bt is already up and running.

second issue, i can't seem to mount any cifs/smbfs/netbios share on 2.6.34 - it'll just timeout (of course, no firewalls or ipsec or hosts allow/deny are involved). same host on 2.6.30 and the share will get mounted istantly. sup with that? anyone noticed?
thanks

Re: new kernel (2.6.34) issues (wlan / smbfs related)

nope, it's not windows related.

i repeat:
on 2.6.30.9 i can mount the remote share instantly from smb4k, on 2.6.34 i can't because of error 112 (host is down). mounting from commandline works, as it does browsing, it's smb4k that won't let me mount the share. please update either the smb4k package to the latest version (that fixes incompatibilities with new smbfstools and cifstools) or revert the kernel option.
